Book Cover & Preview Text
Jumpin' Jungle Bush is a small village located in the middle of a big rain forest somewhere in Australia. All types of wildlife and insects live there and there are various types of trees and plants.
Kinga, a colorful python, slithered down from a tall cypress tree and shouted “Was that a shooting star, Rappin' Randy? I thought I saw where it landed!” “Yes, it definitely was!” said Randy “Hey, Kinga! I've always been fascinated with stars.” Randy decides to rap:
"Stars shine bright in the night, A floating peaceful glow. How far away nobody knows. To my surprise one just flashed before my eyes.”
Randy shouted to Kinga, “I never thought in a million years I would ever see one up close.” Kinga interrupted and said, “Don't tell me you want to go and find it.” “Yes, I do!” said Rappin' Randy. “It's very dangerous out there,” said Kinga. “I'm guessing, but it looks like it landed on top of Dancin' Danger Mountain.”
